This is a simple question (I apologize) but I could not figure out how
tochange the name of one of my macros. When I tried to do this in Tools,
Macros, Edit the macro disappeared from my list of macros. I was able to
get it back pretty easily, but only with the old name. Then I tried Tools,
Templates & Add-Ins, Organizer, but there was nothing in the macro Projects
Items except NewMacros. NO sign of mine. But there MUST be a way to rename
the macro. How? I have a Keyboard Shortcut to run that macro. Will it
still work if the macro is renamed?

(Is this a duplicate posting? I had submitted this 1/7 at 3:15 pm but never
saw it posted. There seems to be an unusual gap in postings between 1/7 and
1/8. Seems there were no postings after 2:44 pm on 1/7 until 6:53 am 1/8.
I am guessing that there was some problem.)

To rename a macro, follow the steps below:
Choose Tools | Macro | Macros.
Select the macro you would like to rename.
Choose Edit. This opens the Visual Basic editor.
When the Visual Basic editor pens, change the name of the macro to what you
would rather it be.
Close the window.

Thanks! I assume you mean when the Visual Basic Editor opens. Wht exactly
do I change? Here is what I see as to this macro, currently named Paste,
below a horizontal line at the end of a macro above it in the editor:

Sub Paste ( )
'
' Paste Macro [text in green]
' paste unformatted text into Word [text in green]
'
[Macro text]

When I tried this before posting I had changed the name Paste in the editor
and the macro disappeared (i.e., from Tools | Macros | Macros) but I don't
remember which "Paste" I changed. So I have a 50% chance of repeating the
error!

At the top of the macro is the keyword "Sub" followed by he macro name, then
a pair of parentheses. Change the macro name the way you want, but leave
"sub" there and the parentheses.
